and my band requires a dressing room, access to the stage 2 hrs in advance, and a case of beer. Not getting the point here...

And the Obama’s take separate planes at the tax payer's expense when they travel.

The msm Newt smears keep coming un-abated. I think we can expect this type of trash from now on until Obama is gone.

What are Bill Clinton’s speaking contract requirements like?

In 2010, our tea party group was looking for a speaker for April 15, the first anniversary of the tea party movement.

We thought Palin would be awesome so we contacted the speaker’s bureau she works through.

Her speaking fee back then was $100,000.00, plus 3 first class plane tickets from Alaska.

We hired Michael Reagan instead. Palin was a little too much for us common folks.

The lamestream media is so predictable... When are they going to report on the Obama family requiring two separate planes when they go on vacation?

Does he need a separate jet for his dog?

Not a big fan of Newt, mind. But he’s getting paid what people think he’s worth. I don’t have a problem with that.

This is really lame. If they are willing to meet his terms, so what? Nobody’s forcing them to invite him to speak. Really, the media is beyond despicable. I’m sick of their manipulative attacks and biased reporting. A pox on them all.

I lean to the right, but Newt, he isn’t it.

I’ll bet Moochelle has a lot more exotic travel requirements than just a different plane than her hubby. One can only imagine, given her desire to live like royalty.

I also ask for first class travel when I am invited to speak. If I have to have meetings in my hotel, I also ask for 2 bathrooms with the suite or else a separate board room for meetings.

Even though I am anti-Newt, I find this article to be the dumbest one. Actually, equally dumb to the article on niggerhead rock paint crap on Perry.
